Volvo Tire Alignment And Rotation Service

If you need to buy new tires for your car, schedule a tire alignment service, or book an oil change service, you can get in touch with the service department and tire center at Gunther Volvo Cars Coconut Creek.

We are here to handle all of your car's factory scheduled maintenance and any other repairs that come up along the way.

We have a wide selection of new tires for sale in our Volvo parts department and can recommend new all-season tires, summer tires, grand touring tires, or whatever your drive requires. After you buy a new set of tires, be sure to schedule your tire alignment at our tire shop.

What Is a Tire Alignment?

The tires on your new Volvo SUV are three-dimensional, which means they have three planes known as camber, caster, and toe. When one of our Volvo tire center professionals installs new tires on your vehicle, we recommend a tire alignment service to ensure the tires are plumb in all three axes and are as flat to the road as possible.

If the tires on your vehicle are out of alignment, even if by only a few degrees, the tires won't sit perfectly flat and will begin to wear unevenly. Uneven tire wear will shorten the lifespan of your car's tires and also lead to bald spots, which can cause a loss of handling and blowouts. The next time you buy new tires for your car, be sure to schedule a tire rotation service in Coconut Creek, FL, at our tire center.

How Often Do I Need a Volvo Tire Alignment?

We recommend scheduling a tire alignment service any time you install new tires on your vehicle to get the most life out of your investment. At this point, you might be wondering how do tires get out of alignment?

It doesn't take much to knock your car's wheels out of alignment. If you've hit a pothole, a curb, or a parking block hard enough, it's possible you also knocked your wheels out of alignment.

One way you can check is if your car will naturally travel in a straight line, or if you need to correct with the steering wheel to keep your vehicle moving straight. If you need to correct, this is a common sign you need a wheel and tire alignment.

Tire Alignment vs. Balance

Many of our customers are unclear about the differences between tire alignment and tire balancing. It's important to point out that these are two different procedures.

Tire balancing ensures an even distribution of tire weight as the tire spins. When tires are out of balance, the force can create wheel wobble, vibration, and damage suspension components. If you look at the rim of your car's wheels where the metal meets the rubber, you might find a metal rectangle clamped to the wheel. This is a balancing weight that offsets an imbalance in the tire.

Tire balancing and alignment are often performed at the same time but aren't the same thing. When you buy new tires from our tire center, we can mount, balance, and align them for you.
